PERLA Scheme (an acronym for Perjanjian Latihan) is an extension of the PROLUS Scheme.  Under the PERLA Scheme, all programmes are pre-approved and on top of that employers are not required to pay course fees to training providers.  The fees will be paid by PSMB to the training providers concerned on behalf of employers, based on claims submitted by training providers, upon the completion of training. PSMB will debit the fees claimed to employers’ levy accounts. For daily allowances claimed which may comprise of food, lodging and transportation including airfare (if applicable), employers are required to submit their claims to PSMB based on stipulated guidelines. Claims must be submitted after the completion of training.

 

Training programmes that are eligible to be offered under this scheme are only public  programmes conducted by training providers who are registered with PSMB. Even though the programmes are pre-approved, employers are required to apply for levy reservation through PERLA online system at www.hrdf.com.my at least one week before training commences to check whether they have sufficient levy balance and to reserve the amount required to pay the course fee (refer to Employer’s Circular No.2/2009).
